Walt Schroeder, Curry county ex tension agent, introduced Don DeLorenzo of the State Ex tension office. He showed slides on predatory animals and answered questions about programs being used to control them. Oregon Department of Agri culture scientists attempting to establish effective biologi cal control of the poisonous weed tansy ragwort in Oregon are encouraged by the ap parent destruction of the weeds by two imported in sects. The orange and black cater pillars of the cinnabar moth, noted for their voracious appe tite for tansy ragwort leaves and flowers, have been test ed in Western Oregon for a number of years and have proved to be an effective agent for the reduction of tansy rag wort. The second insect, rela tively new to Oregon, is the tiny, tansy ragwort flea beetle. The adult beetles feed on leaves, but the greatest dam age is done by larval feeding on the plants' root systems. Dennis Isaacson, entomolo gist with the department’s weed control program, said U.S. Department of Agri culture test sites near Ft. Bragg in California have shown that the effectiveness of using the two insects to gether is beyond earlier ex pectations. The flea beetles were im ported from Northern Italy in 1970 and released for testing at Ft. Bragg. Colonies of the beetles in California became the source of colonies subse quently released in Oregon by Isaacson and his coworkers. So far, Isaacson said, success ful releases have been made in Marion, Clackamas, Lin coln, Benton, Polk, Lane, Tillamook and Curry counties. "W e are now collecting more beetles at Ft. Bragg. The first shipment has arrived and is being screened and counted at our temporary holding facility at Oregon State University,” Isaacson said. divots by Duane Bergstrom There will be a M en ’s Club meeting today, Thursday, Oct. 21, 7 p.m. in the club house. This is the last one until March There have been complaints about various problems that come up during the year which develop into rumors and make a lot of little nothings lead to big problems. If you will bring your questions to the men's club meeting or board meeting, I'm sure your little complaints can be answered to your satisfaction without it being blown clear out of pro portion. Everyone should know your golf club needs positive action not negative rumors. Fix your ball pits on the greens as the greens are softening up and also, blow off your shoes to extend tlje life of your rug. Until further notice in March, the clubhouse is scheduled to close on Mon days.

Bob Strain will play Gordon Neal for the consolation championship. He said the control has been so effective in California that not only is tansy ragwort disappearing, but so are the beetles. "This will probably be the last year that we can collect enough beetles at Ft. Bragg to make the trip worthwhile," Isaacson said. He said Oregon colonies are likely to become the major source of flea beetles for all subsequent Oregon releases Isaacson said the biologi cal control of tansy ragwort is a relatively slow method of ragwort control, but a de sirable method because it can be used effectively in areas where the application of chem ical herbicides is impractical or undesirable. Parents: Don’t Let Your Children Burn (Part 0 ) by James McAlister Extension Safety Specialist Oregon State University This is the second of a five part series designed to help parents teach their children and themselves how to survive a house fire. A child who has had the* opportunity to practice what to do in a fire has a much better chance of surviving a real fire. Following are two of the six drills offered in this series. All a r e , designed to teach children how to survive a fire. After the first try, these "fire drills” can be tested during the day or after child ren are in bed at night by using the signal " F ire !” In the fifth part of this series, a final "rookie” examination will be presented to deter mine whether your children qualify as "firem en.” A drill called "On with the gas masks" teaches children about poisonous gases which are the true killers in fires. Pretend the house is fill ing with smoke. You must get out as quickly as possible. In all the drills, stress im mediate escape. Yell " S M O K E ” and have the children, wherever they are — in bedrooms, living room, kitchen—grab a pillow, or several thicknesses of fluffy material such as a towel, and SCHOOL LUNCH p /•> OCTOBER 2 5 - 2 9 -. . li Monday: Scalloped potatoes with wieners, cole slaw, jello, rolls. Tuesday: Hamburger gravy over potatoes, spinach, car rot sticks, upside-down cake. Wednesday: Beef stew, cot tage cheese, pears, snicker- doodle bread. Thursday: Tuna & noodles, peas, pudding, hot bread. Friday: W itch’s brew (Bar becued beef over rolls). Gob lins grass (green salad), spooky shivers (applesauce), scarecrow ciscs (cookies) and cat's meow (milk). place it over their mouths and noses. The cloth won’t filter out poisonous bases in smoke, but will alleviate some of the irritating effects of inhaling smoke. Have the children move as fast as they can, keeping close to the floor where the air is best. They should avoid deep breaths. Emphasize the fact that smoke, not flames, is the num ber one killer in fire. It con tains iarge quantities of car bon monoxide and a dozen or so other poisonous gases from burning materials. By far the majority of fire victims are asphyxiated by smoke gases long before flames ever touch them. Sometimes poisonous smoke can knock you unconscious after two or three breaths and can kill you in a few minutes. Smoke always rises, making upper floor bedrooms the greatest fire traps. Be sure children know that wherever there is smoke—there is po tential death, so get to fresh air fast. The next drill is call "H o t door—Cold door.” As part of "Basic Training” firemen leam the dangers of opening a door in a fire. I t ’s some thing your child must know too. Teach him never to fling open a bedroom door if he suspects fire. He should apply this test: Put his hand on the door panel and knob. If either is warm, he should not open the door, for heat and gases are on the other side, all ready to burst in. One lungful of superheat ed air can fell a person in stantly. He must leave the door closed and make his escape another way. If the door doesn’t feel warm, he should brace him self against it, open it a crack and be ready to slam it should smoke or heat rush in. If all is clear, he can proceed through the doorway with caution. Make sure young firemen practice this routine until they have it down pat. As a fire drill is being announced, slip a sign under the closed door reading hot " or "cold" while youngsters react appro priately. Also, make it a nightly ritual to close bedroom doors unless this would pre- “ SEE IT LIKE IT IS” A free Christian Science Lecture by Miss Nancy E.
